My wheel looks like this and even after rinse water this dusty layer still remained... is this brake dust? What product you guys recommend to get rid of this?

Thanks guys, ended up using car shampoo and a brush

Guys I coated my car when I first got it in Jul 2018 but planning on forgoing the maintenance work and do more hands-on like self wax, do I need to do anything to "remove" the old coating? Or by now already worn off and I can wax as I like?

How to buff off the coating without damaging car paint? That's my #1 concern, especially if some coating already bonded with the paint.

I think is glass coating not ceramic... would applying wax on top cause the shine and sheen to look "off"?

Anyone experienced front right of the car somewhere near suspension or wheel well where there’s a soft clunk sound when going over small imperfections in road like auto gate rail? Mine started doing this recently but couldn’t isolate what’s causing it

Thanks for the insight. Lol wow this is a 2018 model, so fast need to replace? Wonder if I tell SC they’ll know it’s that problem or they’ll say can’t reproduce issue and call it a day again. Damn facepalm.

I’m having I believe a similar issue. Did you figure out what it is?

Crazy. Did you experience the same issues like clunking (klok klok) when going over small imperfections in the road? My service is scheduled for 11 Jan, is it safe to keep driving or need to replace asap?

It is definitely 5 years from start-finish and since Civic only released in Malaysia in 2016 the warranty is at least until 2021 for all models that are legally purchased here in Malaysia. As long as you have the service booklet and the car is under your name you're entitled to warranty.

Hey guys did my 18 months service which included a battery change. The SC gave me back the old battery... not sure why they didn’t take it. How should I dispose it to make sure it doesn’t blow up in the garbage truck or something?

Don't think so because the HU likely runs different version of the firmware... unless someone can figure out how to hack the FL HU firmware onto pre-FL then maybe there'll be a chance with OEM side mirror units...

For mine the small knocking sound comes from front right wheel area (driver side) when I either accelerate from a stop, or go over some uneven roads. Previously some members suggested it's suspension leak or failing suspension so I've set up an appointment with SC to get it checked out on Feb 14... will update here once I know what the issue is.

I noticed if I'm braking while going through something that's extremely uneven, there'll be a clicking sound from the relay like when you first start your car and the auto-lock kicks in, or when first time hit 50 km/h from engine start, there are small clicking sounds.

Not sure what that is, VSC?

Not sure if ours is the same case but mine at first was quite random and hard to reproduce but after a month it started becoming more frequent and now I can reproduce it quite reliably by going over a hump or by accelerating from rest. Will update once I know anything.

Has anyone tried aftermarket front parking sensor, blind-spot monitoring and 360 deg camera setup? Can it be integrated into existing HU? Any suggestions? Thanks.

No existing owner has gotten these fitted before?

Finally got SC to take a look at clunking sound from my front right suspension area, turns out a bolt wasn’t tightened enough when they replaced my steering rack a few months ago. What the flying F?! Like this also can. I’ve lost faith in Honda with all these quality issues plaguing their CKD products, even a friend’s BRV got absorber issue only a few months after getting his new car.

Worst thing for me was I had them set up an appointment with me two months out, and on the day of the appointment they asked me to go home first because their technicians busy and can only take a look a few hours later. I was like wtf I had an appointment and now you’re telling me I had to go back then come back again at your pleasure.

This was at the Penang Sg Pinang Kah Motor service center if anyone’s curious... shit service quality and every time after service I gave feedback was almost always ignored

I know you’re being sarcastic but for real though I would never buy another Honda CKD vehicle in my life again.

2-3 weeks from claim start to part arrival, then put car overnight for them to install, test and do alignment.

That's a bit far for me since I live in Tg Bungah... but good to know. Will keep that as an option in the future if Sungai Pinang one disappoints again
